You could indeed make some money mining with your laptop last summer/autumn. Nobody recommended it but it could be done with even earning some easy profit doing so
. There is a real possibility of overheating your laptop.
I once benched my laptop for mining and monthly estimated profit was around 15USD so something. During the same time, my 5x R9 290 rig pulled in 500USD monthly
This is very nice but what is your recommendation for newbies like me?
